Poisson laws and exterior stability for random alternating tensors
Abstract
For fixed k≥3, we determine the critical law of totally isotropic r-spaces for a uniform random map ΘN:Λk𝔽qN→𝔽qm. At the exact balance mbinom rk=r(N−r), the entire null configuration is asymptotically an independent Bernoulli subset of Gr(r,𝔽qN) in total variation, uniformly in q and m. Consequently, the counting measure Ξr is asymptotically a Poisson point process, and its total mass XN,r is asymptotically Poisson. An exterior-rank stability theorem shows that near-extremal families decompose into Grassmann clusters with uniformly controlled span deficiency. We obtain quantitative rates and identify the first exterior-dependence scale. We also show that rare null (r+1)-spaces force high-order factorial-moment divergence, while the fixed-target bilinear cases m=1,2 exhibit non-Poisson critical behavior.

AB - For fixed k≥3, we determine the critical law of totally isotropic r-spaces for a uniform random map Θ_N:Λ^k𝔽_q^N→𝔽_q^m. At the exact balance mbinom rk=r(N−r), the entire null configuration is asymptotically an independent Bernoulli subset of Gr(r,𝔽_q^N) in total variation, uniformly in q and m. Consequently, the counting measure Ξ_r is asymptotically a Poisson point process, and its total mass X_N,r is asymptotically Poisson. An exterior-rank stability theorem shows that near-extremal families decompose into Grassmann clusters with uniformly controlled span deficiency. We obtain quantitative rates and identify the first exterior-dependence scale. We also show that rare null (r+1)-spaces force high-order factorial-moment divergence, while the fixed-target bilinear cases m=1,2 exhibit non-Poisson critical behavior.
